Not seen such Bravery!
In which case I'm sure we won't let him go.
With 3 years left on Leo's contract at the end of the season, I can't see anything under 8 million being acceptable.
Didn't we turn down 6 million last summer
Got something to say or just want fewer pesky ads? Join us... 😊
Major clear out in the summer.....

Who do people really believe we need to move on in the summer, if we find ourselves preparing for another season in the championship next season. As I strongly suspect we will. We all agree that the events of last summer was a major distraction leading into this campaign and I suspect plans for the close season are already in place..I personally think there will be a major turn around in the playing staff, here's who I think maybe in the autumn of their Albion careers.
TK- unless by some miracle we go up, because we won't match his current contract.
Greer- Just think he doesn't move the ball forward quick enough and will move on.
Ward- Must be on massive wages, think he will get a better offer elsewhere.
Andrew- Hasn't really impressed to want him here next season.
Lopez- Should never have come back, has been a shadow of the player last season.
Orlandi- Just to injury prone and a drain on the wage bill.
Buckley- Will move on, for a fee.
Ulloa- May get an offer we just can't refuse £7m+
Rodney- From what we have seen so far, please no.
Sure there will be others like Brezovan and fridge players. But these are the big first team names, that I think will be moved on in the summer. I can see a massive clear out coming.
What do others think
What are your thoughts re Caskey? will he develop into a strong box to box player, 6/7 goal a season player?
A top pro who always gives 100%, passionate about the club and the city and been a big part of our footballing revival from the very start! Good credentials for a chance!

Agree - although very neat and tidy and energetic he for me unfortunately does not influence enough, and i do hope as you say will peak in due course, but i think he may truly influence a game a league below. We shall see. Shame technically gifted.

I dont see much in that to make him management material other than some passion about the club which about 15,000 people have.
We should be ok then!!

I'm reading all this about Ulloa, Premier League teams, £7m+ etc, and thinking he is quite good, probably very good in this league, but he's not exactly rapid over the turf, and I can't see who'd give really serious money for him. If unwanted bids ARE received, we should send such bidders a video of THAT header against Hull !

Andrea Orlandi is our most creative player. Would be disappointed if he left.

Oh.
Who's going in goal next year as the thread has rid us of TK, Brezovan and Ankergren. Is the DSquad bloke good enough yet, and should I be getting my gloves out of 50 year storage so I can volunteer as cover ?

Harsh on Crofts who probably would have won player of the season if it hadn't been finished early by his knee injury.

Agree with this. I love Calde but can he coach. I've known plenty of really good blokes who were good footballers but couldn't coach someone to tie their shoes! Jonesy may get on some people's nerves for whatever reason but he is a highly regarded and qualified (Spanish speaking) football coach.

Please god I hope we offer Orlandi a new 2 year deal.
I expect Bruno, Koosh, Andrews, Rodriguez, Ward, Lopez, Obika and Hoskins all to go or not be retained.
UNless Bruno and Koosh are happy to accept reduced terms, which i doubt.
All in an effort to get with FFP.

There are those we shall want to hang on to and the keeper situation needs sorting out.
However, players will be available this close season at lower cost of fees/wages with FFP clicking in in a meaningful way, which will means the likes of QPR will not be able to easily ignore.

Out Brez, Casper, Spanish Dave, Spanish Rodney,
Think Bruno has 1 year left, along with CMS,
Koosh unlikely to sign new deal
Would keep Greer (1 year) Upson, Orlandi,Keep Hoskins if fitness can be proved.
Keep Ward if wages are reasonable.
In my opinion we require:
Keeper (Walton good enough to be back up)
Full back
Centre Back
Pacey Midfielder
Big Striker
If Hoskins,CMS,BUckley,Orlandi,Lua Lua stay fit not a bad squad
